VirtualBox 5.0.10 verfügbar

VirtualBox gehört zu meinen persönlichen Must-Have-Tools, um neue Programme und Co. gefahrlos zu testen. Regelmäßig informiere ich euch deswegen über Updates – und ja das Update auf Version 5.0.10 steht aktuell zum Download bereit.

Folgende Bugs wurden behoben:

• VMM: improved support for certain Intel Atom CPUs (bug #14773)
• VMM: system register emulation fix (5.0 regression; bug #14515)
• GUI: fixed immediate screenshot issue (bug #14108)
• GUI: fixed another 3D overlay window reparenting issue when the VM is switched to fullscreen mode on X11 hosts
• GUI: fixed help index (bug #14722)
• GUI: fixed state synchronization issue in the VM manager window when VM was paused from its runtime window
• Audio: fixed suspending/resuming audio streams on VM pause/unpause (bug#14784)
• Audio: properly reset AC97 audio streams, otherwise there is silence until a non-48 kHz stream is played
• Audio: fixed a small emulation quirk of the AD1980 codec of the HDA device to make recent linux guests work (bug #14653)
• USB: serveral fixes for the xHCI controller
• USB: fixed a crash under certain conditions on hosts with Linux kernels older than version 3.3
• USB: better identification of certain USB devices
• NAT: support TCP in DNS proxy (bug#14736)
• NAT Network: fixed sporadic crashes on Windows hosts (bug #13899)
• API: when creating differencing images (e.g. as part of a snapshot or cloning a VM) use the same disk image variant as the parent image if possible, which means that e.g. a diff image for a VMDK image split into 2 GB files will also be split (bug#14764)
• API: event queue handling fixes preventing loss of certain events at runtime (e.g. new webcam attached), particularly important on Mac OS X hosts
• Webcam: passthrough fix for certain devices (Windows hosts only)
• VBoxManage: don’t crash on snapshot restorecurrent / edit if the VM has no snapshots
• VBoxManage: don’t crash on controlvm addencpassword (bug #14729)
• Mac OS X hosts: use the correct kernel on certain hosts
• Windows hosts: fixed VRDP external authentication
• Windows hosts: allow to use a shared folder path with extended-length path prefix (5.0 regression; bug #14651)
• Windows hosts: fix a crash in the netfilter host driver under certain conditions (bug#14799)
• Windows host installer: documented and fixed public properties which can be used to control the installation to some extent
• Windows host installer: fixed not starting the actual installation when showing the version information or help dialogs
• X11 Additions: added basic support for X.Org Server 1.18 (3D requires additional fixes)
